I have question. How to make fat jar for JavaFX app using Ant? I know that in Internet is a few tutrials, but it concerns Java apps, not JavaFX apps. I conlude that is difference, because i tried to follow this tutorials, and it works for Java apps, but in JavaFX apps with fxml files after attempt run app, it returns NullPointerException: location is required (and yes, i tried modificate path to fxml files, and use ClassLoader, it dosesn't help). I tried use One Jar plugin for Ant too, with the same effect.
I have following build.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="App" default="do-deploy" basedir="." xmlns:fx="javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant">
<target name="init-fx-tasks">

How to modificate it, to make fat jar with all dependencies in it? I know that its easier to make in Maven, but i want to know, is that possible in Ant. Regards
